Ozil and Gundogan meet German president

Two German national football players of Turkish origin have met Germany's president and football heads on Sunday, in efforts to calm a row over photos taken with the Turkish president.

The meeting in Berlin came after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met Arsenal's Mesut Ozil and Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan during an official visit to the UK last week. Turkey's striker Cenk Tosun was also at the gathering.

Photos taken in London showed the players handing jerseys to the Turkish president. The images were published on social media on Monday by Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party).

One photo showed the wording on Gundogan's jersey, which reads: "With respect for my president."
